Gerald McCoy on Panthers: 'We have to let this division know we're still here'

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may be sitting at 4-10 and in the midst of one of their most disappointing seasons they’ve had, but that certainly won’t stop them from trying to win the last two games and end this devastating season on a good note. At least that seems to be defensive tackle Gerald McCoy’s plan.

During Wednesday’s press conference at One Buc Place, McCoy said his plan is to notch a win against Carolina and fight hard to finish the year strong and set a good tone for hopefully what is a solid offseason.

“We can let this division know that we are still here,” McCoy said of facing the Panthers on Sunday. “I think we get overlooked a lot, which that’s what comes with not winning, but we are still here and we can still make an impact on this division. They are on fire right now. Carolina is on fire. We’re going to have to bring it because they are at home and when they are at home, it’s a hard place to win at.”

The Bucs are currently sitting at the very bottom of the NFC South while the Panthers, Falcons and Saints have all had fairly great seasons. Therefore, a win against the Panthers on the road would definitely boost their confidence and self esteem a bit heading into the offseason which is precisely what this team needs right now more than ever.

Bucs vs. Panthers is set to kickoff at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday from Raymond James Stadium. You can catch all the action when the game gets underway on FOX.
